Foam Insert For 18x18x18 Zoo Med/Exo Terra Cages

Does anyone know if this foam insert, for exoterra or zoomed terrariums, is any good? I tryed looking for reviews but I couldn't find any. I'm worried that it wont fit properly and I will be out all that money

It looks cool but it is rather pricey.

much agreed... but to some people $60 is expendable while their time is not. although i think it's a tremendous price i can see how some people would think price is a relative term.

Now I don't (yet) have any experience in the matter, but I wouldn't spend $60 regardless of financial situation. I would rather spend time and create something of my own.

I bought this one...
T-Rex Rockview Caverns Foam Hiding Log

I have not used it yet... I'm thinking for maybe a future Dwarf Desert Gecko Species... I only $10 at a local pet store... Not to bad, I think they are despite the price a good product.

The money wouldn't be a huge deal if it works and looks good. The only problem I can think of is the material its made of and whether or not it fits perfectly. I wouldn't want to spend the money on it if it doesn't fit perfectly.

i bought the t rex rainforest rapids for my 20 gallon high when i first got into vivariums. imo it was a good starter kit and it looked nice. the only problem was getting to the filter. the way its set up is theres alittle cut out at the botttom so the filter can fit in but if you need to change it or clean it you literally have to take the whole thing out of the tank. i found it on drfostersmith.com for around $20 so if you do buy it, buy it from there. after doing my first custom background i dont think i will ever buy another foam background simply because o can design it so matinence is easier and also you can make it look however you like
